Just read through the Yoga World newletter and discovered that there's a meditation community in Long Beach called quite simply Long Beach Meditation. Regular meditation sessions called sits are held at different locations in the city. Beginner's sits are held on the first and third Sundays of each month from 1:30 to 2:30 pm at the Unity Church of Long Beach at Broadway and Alamitos. Guiding teacher Victor Byrd discusses the fundamentals of Vipassana (Insight) Meditation followed by a 20 minute sit and time for discussion. Beginning classes are free, but donations are welcomed. You can come early and help set up as a way to meet and talk with members of the group.
On June 12, Yoga World founder Gabriel Hall and Victor Byrd will hold an all day meditation retreat in Palos Verdes, incorporating sitting meditation, walking meditation, and yoga asanas. The retreat costs $60. Spaces are limited so sign up at the Long Beach Meditation website as soon as possible.
